What does Michelin Restaurant Finder do?

This actor scrapes the official Michelin Guide website to give you a complete, up-to-date list of every restaurant listed in a city — from 3-Star temples of gastronomy to Bib Gourmand hidden gems. You choose the cities and filter by distinction level.

Results include every restaurant the Michelin Guide currently lists: starred restaurants, Bib Gourmand picks, Green Star sustainable dining, and all other Michelin-selected establishments.

How much will it cost?

Michelin Restaurant Finder scrapes the Michelin Guide website using CheerioCrawler — fast HTTP scraping with full pagination.

Typical costs:

• 1 city (e.g. London): < $0.05
• 5 cities: < $0.15
• All 54 cities: < $1.00

Cost tips:

• Use distinctions filter to limit to starred restaurants only if you don't need Bib Gourmand and Selected listings — significantly reduces page count for large cities like London and Paris
• Use maxRestaurantsPerCity for quick sampling runs

See the Apify pricing page for full pricing details.

How does Michelin Restaurant Finder work?

1. For each selected city, the actor loads the verified Michelin Guide URL (mapped internally for all 54 cities)
2. CheerioCrawler fetches the listing pages and follows pagination automatically
3. Each restaurant card is parsed: name, distinction badge, cuisine type, price range, location string, and Michelin URL
4. Results are pushed to the Apify dataset

---

Notes on language

Michelin Guide pages are localised. This actor uses English-language URLs where available (UK, Japan, Thailand, Austria, Singapore, USA). For French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and German cities, the Michelin website only publishes in the local language — so cuisine labels for those cities will be in the local language (e.g. "Cuisine moderne" for French restaurants). Restaurant names, prices, and distinctions are unaffected.

Frequently asked questions

Which cities are supported? 54 cities across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. See the full list above. New cities are added when Michelin publishes a new regional guide.

Can I filter by cuisine type? Not directly in the input — the distinctions filter is the only built-in filter. After the run, filter the exported dataset by the cuisine field in Excel or your BI tool.

What if a city I need is missing? Open an issue or contact us through the Apify platform. We add cities when Michelin publishes new regional guides. Notable recent additions include Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and more US regions.

How often is the Michelin Guide updated? Michelin publishes its major guide updates annually (typically autumn/winter). Spot changes happen throughout the year. Schedule the actor quarterly or before travel planning season to stay current.

Can I get restaurant phone numbers, websites, or opening hours? The listing pages only provide the fields listed above. Phone numbers, websites, and opening hours are on individual restaurant detail pages. Contact us if you need a version that also scrapes detail pages.

Can I use Michelin Restaurant Finder via the Apify API? Yes. Use the Run Actor endpoint with your actor ID and input JSON. Results are available in the dataset as soon as the run completes.

Can I use Michelin Restaurant Finder through an MCP Server? Yes. Via the Apify MCP server, you can call this actor from any MCP-compatible AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to pull Michelin restaurant lists in real time from a conversation.

Is scraping the Michelin Guide legal? This actor scrapes publicly available data from guide.michelin.com — the same data any visitor sees. Use responsibly and in accordance with Michelin's terms of service. For large runs covering many cities, consider using the maxRestaurantsPerCity parameter to limit volume.
